Full textAbstract:
This article suggests that the concept of the moral economy of the peasant, as defined by James C. Scott, in the context of Southeast Asia, provides a compelling theoretical framework through which one can examine Gopinath Mohanty’s novel Paraja (1945), 2 2 This article takes its cue from a brilliant article written by Shashi Bhushan Upadhyay in which he usefully employs the concept of moral economy to analyse the peasant narratives of Premchand. See Shashi Bhushan Upadhyay, ‘Premchand and the Moral Economy of Peasantry in Colonial North India’, Modern Asian Studies 45, no. 5 (2011): 1227–59. However, while Upadhyay equates the idea of moral economy with the traditional Indian concept of dharma, in order to explain the passivity of Premchand’s peasant protagonists, I have endeavoured to demonstrate, in this article, the disintegration of the moral economy in Gopinath Mohanty’s novel Paraja, and how such disintegration may precipitate resistance and a strong sense of moral outrage. an unparalleled achievement in Oriya literature that narrates the predicament of the tribal peasants of the Koraput region. It demonstrates how the encroachment of the colonial state on the invaluable resources of the tribal peasants in Mohanty’s novel results in an escalating disintegration of the moral economy which in turn precipitates resistance and a strong sense of moral outrage. However, instead of collective rebellion that Scott discusses about, in his groundbreaking work, in Mohanty’s novel, we find several instances of everyday forms of resistance, a concept that Scott formulates in his subsequent works. This not only helps us to understand and make sense of the motives and intentions of the tribal peasants in the novel but also underscores the abiding relevance and timeless appeal of Mohanty’s work, even in the post-Nehruvian nation-state, where the problems confronting the tribal peasants in the wake of globalisation are increasingly acute, virtually insurmountable and even more pronounced than ever before.

In 1886 Emile Zola published La Terre (The Earth), a novel about peasant life in nineteenth-century France. In that novel, the peasant-proprietor Fduan, aware that he has reached an age at which he can no longer farm his own property, decides to divide it among his three children. Monsieur Baillehache, the notary before whom they all appear to legalize the transaction, feels that it is his duty to “make the usual comments.”

Full textAbstract:
Peasants, like people from other social strata, in the war or in a soviet concentration camp for at least some time live with their past experiences, memories, habits and stereotyped behaviors. It also turns out that the past can be important aid in developing a heroic system of relations with the enemy or in the necessary patience for survival. Vasil Bykov writes about this in the story «The sign of trouble», and Andrey Platonov, for example, in the story «The officer and the peasant». But the past can and does determine the behavior of the peasant even when he cannot free himself from the painful and destructive things that his former life has left in him. And in this case, he betrays himself, his family and friends, including his own future, in the face of the enemy, turns out to be an enemy of his people and eventually dies a shameful death. Vasil Bykov wrote about it in his stories «Sotnikov» and «Crane cry». According to Alexander Solzhenitsyn's novel «One day of Ivan Denisovich», the life of a peasant in a camp is simpler than that of people who are not adapted to hard work. Sometimes this life is even characterized by a kind of enthusiasm. But this kind of statement is not confirmed by Varlam Shalamov, who observes the rapid leveling of a person from any social group into a semi-human, a typical worn out prisoner. Who is right – Solzhenitsyn or Shalamov? Probably everyone has their own truth. But they agree with one thing – the rejection and curse of soviet totalitarianism.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Narrative structures serve the double function of selecting episodes and charac-ters to be included in the narration, as well as offering a generative mechanism for their sequencing, both functions being simultaneous and mutually interac-tive. According to Eco (1984), narrative structures are multilayered, including an abstract level of ideology. Few studies have been done on specific narrative subgenres, such as the historical novel. This article examines a historical novel by Latvian writer Karlis Zariņš (1938, 1948, 1975, 1985), which depicts a failed peasant uprising at Kauguri, Latvia in 1802. Bakhtine's (1978) theoreti-cal notion of chronotope is invoked, distinguishing the external chronotope— the general historical and geographic situation—from the internal chronotope—the sequence of individual transformations. In Kaugurieši, the ex-ternal chronotope is depicted as a sociopolitical chess game, in which the Rus-sian king and the German knights play active roles, the queen is chance, and the pawns (Latvian peasants) are helpless victims. The plot centers on a tragi-cally failed attempt by the Latvians to change the historical givens by becom-ing an active, collective force. The internal chronotopes reveal the paths of individual lives, some of which follow the abstract model of heroic quest and sacrifice. (Psychohistory)

Full textAbstract:
The childhood of Alexey Nikolaevich Tolstoy passed on the steppe farm Sosnovka where his stepfather’s A. A. Bostrom’s estate was located. Subsequently, the writer reproduced both external appearance of the estates familiar to him, and the inhabitants of the estates and their way of life on the pages of his works. Everything that Tolstoy saw in his childhood (peasant yards, the life of a small-scale Samara estate (called ‘khutor’), a city estate) found reflection in his works and, in particular, in the manor texts, which undoubtedly include the novel Peter the Great. The paper considers the A. N. Tolstoy’s novel Peter the Great as an ‘estate text’. The first book of the novel is set in Moscow, in Kitay-Gorod. Tolstoy recreates in great detail the life of the city and its inhabitants that has gone into the past, which in the late 17th – early 18th centuries, according to the historian I. E. Zabelina looked like a big village. The descriptions of the peasant household, Moscow nobles estates and princely mansion are based, on the one hand, on the writer’s impressions and, on the other, on historical sources and represent the image of the estate. The estate plot closely connected with the characters living (both fictional and historical ones), with life of the city and the state. The novel provides a comprehensive description of the courtyard of the poor peasant Brovkin, the impoverished nobleman Volkov, as well as based on the testimony of the French envoy De Neuville and the work of S. M. Solovyov, a detailed image of the Moscow chambers of Prince V. V. Golitsyn. Childhood memories, historical sources and creative imagination allow Tolstoy to painstakingly recreate on the pages of the novel not only the image of the lost Moscow of Peter’s time, but also the ones of its inhabitants.

Full textAbstract:
Исследуется трансформация правовой культуры крестьян в советской доколхозной деревне на примере ее традиционного института — обычного права. Актуальность темы предопределяют, с одной стороны, слабая изученность конкретно-исторических механизмов утверждения нового советского законодательства России в 1920-е годы, с другой стороны, чрезвычайная важность переосмысления парадигмы правового развития страны с позиций современных подходов к феномену обычного права. Предпринят анализ законодательных источников первого десятилетия советской власти и архивных документов. Проведенное исследование отражает сложную картину становления советской законодательной базы и проникновения в нее неписаных крестьянских обычно-правовых норм. Дореволюционные традиции оказались вполне востребованы в новом законодательстве. Для крестьян традиционный уклад в решении повседневных деревенских нужд в период революционных потрясений и становления нового права оставался своего рода защитным механизмом в условиях адаптации к изменявшимся условиям жизни. Однако нараставшие новые противоречия между старшим и молодым поколениями, между мужчинами и женщинами, между разными формами хозяйствования в деревне и пр. усугубляли социальную разобщенность, нарушали прежнюю однородность общины и ее обычай. The research investigates the transformation of peasant legal culture in Soviet pre-kolkhoz villages at the example of common law as a legal tradition. The relevance of the issue is predetermined, on one hand, by the fact that historical mechanisms of adopting a new Soviet legal system in Russia of the 1920s are largely underinvestigated and, on the other hand, by the fact that it is crucial to reinvestigate the paradigm of the legal development of Russia from the point of view of modern approaches to the interpretation of the phenomenon of common law. The author makes an attempt to analyze laws issued by the Soviet state during the first decade of its existence and archival documents. The investigation reveals a complex picture of Soviet legal system formation and its enrichment with common law principles traditionally supported by peasants. Pre-revolutionary traditions were willingly adopted by the new legal system. Peasants treated traditions as a protective mechanism guarding them against revolution-related distress and helping them to adapt to novel conditions of life and a new legal system. However, the growing contradictions between the older and younger generations, between men and women, between various land management practices aggravated social segregation and disrupted the traditional social uniformity of a peasant community.

Souny, Elisabeth. "Le roman de pays dans l'entre-deux-guerres : la passion de la terre." Thesis, Paris 4, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012PA040261.
Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse examine la façon dont une notion ancienne, la notion de pays, réactualisée par l'École vidalienne de géographie française et transmise par l'École de la Troisième République, a innervé et, pour ainsi dire, dynamisé la production romanesque rustique de l'entre-deux-guerres en France. Nous constatons, en effet, une forte corrélation entre cette géographie humaine et républicaine du début du siècle et la production littéraire de l'entre-deux-guerres. La configuration d'un cadre générique, le roman de pays, dans le champ littéraire français de l'entre-deux-guerres est donc l'hypothèse globale de ce travail. Le rôle du motif du pays est étudié dans l'oeuvre de Marcel Aymé, Henri Bachelin, André Chamson, Maurice Genevoix, Jean Giono, Henri Pourrat et C.-F. Ramuz, pour ne citer que les principaux auteurs de notre corpus. Une mise en perspective historique de cette production textuelle nous permet d'étudier les relations de cette littérature aux discours de savoirs qui la portent, avant d'examiner la portée sociologique et socio-politique d'un genre fortement corrélé à un appareil pédagogique républicain. Enfin, nous sommes sensible à la construction progressive d'une poétique du genre qui permet de dégager des intrigues-types et leur signification historique. Ce travail entend ainsi démontrer que la passion de la terre a pu être une source de renouvellement du genre romanesque en un temps de crise et de mutations accélérées<br>This dissertation examines how a long-standing notion, the notion of the homeland, modernized by the French school of Vidalian geography and edified by the School of the Third Republic, invaded and, so to speak, resuscitated the French peasant novel in the inter-war period. One can easily deduce a close connection between both the human and the republican geography of the beginning of the XXth century and the literary production of the inter-war period. Therefore, our general hypothesis is that a new literary genre, the homeland novel, was born in the French literary field in this period. The role of the pattern of the homeland is considered in the works of Marcel Aymé, Henri Bachelin, André Chamson, Maurice Genevoix, Jean Giono, Henri Pourrat and C.-F. Ramuz, and we only mention here the main authors of our corpus. A historical point of view first enables us to study the relations between this literature and the scientific discourses supporting it. Then we focus on the sociological and socio-political meaning of a genre closely related to a republican pedagogic system. Furthermore, we take into account the gradual founding of a poetics which enables us to recognize representative plot points and their historical implications. This dissertation thus intends to demonstrate that the passion for the land might have been the origin of a renewal of the novel in a time of doubts, crisis and rapid change

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立成功大學<br>台灣文學研究所<br>95<br>Most research on peasant novels under Japanese rule follows nationalistic resistant point of view, which often neglects the ideology of authorial elitism in the peasant figures writing and thus the peasant figures were fixed as losers. Besides, when it comes to economical, political, and social situations, the rational behavior of peasants is ignored or even erased. Based on this situation, researchers tend to unconsciously copy the stereotypes in the peasant novels and take them as the fact. Therefore, this paper tries to collate the problems of the elitism as well as the peasant figures in the peasant novels.
At first, I will look into the developments and the variations of the elitism and how they stereotype peasant figures, so as to explain how the colonial society was shaded under the strong civil class ideology. Next, we will focus on the peasant texts, which were divided into tragedy narrative and sneer narrative. Through analyzing the plots, themes, and characters, we can see how peasant novels conspire with the subaltern stereotype in the colonial society, ignoring the rational decisions peasants can make when facing troubles. Nevertheless, unlike those stereotyped novels mentioned above, there are still other novels describing the varieties of peasant consciousness and thus eliminating the stereotype and the collusion. Lastly, through the up-and-down peasant movements during the late 1920s, along with the reports and the rumors of Liao Tien-ting, this paper will try to prove that the peasants went though the commercial and politic count, no matter their decisions seemed resistant, tolerant, dodgy or obedient. Also, this observation again accentuates the elitist collusion between colonial society and peasant novels of that time, and it as well as replies to the long-lasting problem of the colonial elitist historiography which hides behind the nationalistic resistant point of view.
Above all, by analyzing the elitism and the peasant figures in peasant novels under Japanese rule, the main focus of this paper is not on representing the peasant figures, but collating course of elitists, from knowing the peasants to writing the peasants. It serves as another side of viewing Taiwan intellectuals under Japanese rule, which is a side that faces the subaltern, but not the colonial government.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>中國文化大學<br>韓國語文研究所<br>96<br>This thesis titled as「The Comparison Study of Korean and Taiwan Peasant Novels：A Case Study of Li, Wu-Ying and Lyuu, Heh-Ruo」, after the First Sino-Japanese War, Korea (1919~1945) and Taiwan (1895~1945) were colonized by Japan at same time. The politics, economy, society, and literature etc were affected by Japan. Therefore, there must be some similarities between Korean literature and Taiwanese literature. Therefore, it is very necessary to study both the Korean and Taiwanese farmer fictions.
This thesis consist of four chapters:
Chapter 1 is introduction. It discusses the achievements, which relative to Li, Wu-Ying and Lyuu, Heh-Ruo, done by previous researchers, then explains the study methods and architecture of this thesis.
The second chapter consists of two sections. The first section narrates the historic background of the time of Korea and Taiwan and the Japanese colonial policies, which includes: Japanese Kohminka Policy, Regulation on Land Survey, Program of increase in the rice produced. Based on these analyses, it pries into the country's profile of the time.
The second section explains the Korean and Taiwanese literary characteristics and analyses the characteristics of the representative farmer fictions of both Korea and Taiwan during the end of Japanese occupation. The farmers were exploited by Japanese imperialists and capitalist of the time. They lost their lands and became Tenant farmer. This led them into extremely poor situation. To solve this problem, the literators launched a series of enlightenments. They expressed their strong will through some popular romantic love stories with easy understanding expressions.
The third chapter tries to find out the main reason of farmer's poverty in 30's by comparing the Tendency period farmer fictions of Li, Wu-Ying and Lyuu, Heh-Ruo. This chapter narrates the stories of Li, Wu-Ying and Lyuu, Heh-Ruo in all their life, which includes their education, family, and literary tendency etc and classifies their fictions into (Class period, Tendency farmer novel, Returned to the farm farmer novel, National policy novel) according to the characteristics of their literary actives.
The forth chapter makes a comprehensive view of Korean and Taiwanese famer fictions and analyses the similarities and differences thoroughly. The opinions of the author is brought forward after analysis the following four fictions: man-bo, wu-shin, Ox heart, Stormy story, Oxcart. They have the following characteristics:
1. The leading actors ascribed their misfortunes and poverty to deterministic, recreance, and negative.
2. There are anti-urban, anti-civilization trend. Thereby, there is strong anti-imperialism thinking.
3. The Cow, Bamboo, ... frequently appeared as fodders to represent the countryside.
4. They described the downfall of Aristocrat under the govern of Japanese imperialists.
5. All ended as tragedy.
In addition, it has been found that the reasons led to collapse of countryside and the universal poverty are:
1. Mechanization
2. The exploitation of Japanese imperialists.
In summary, it is found that both of them have the trend of naturalism and socialism. Li, Wu-Ying inherited the trend of Japanese Proretalria and stand by the proletariats to charge the exploitation ofJapanese imperialists.

Full textAbstract:
‘The great mother: earth’ looks at the novel Earth, Zola’s favourite among his novels. Lyrical descriptions of the countryside and of the eternal cycle of nature and the seasons contrast with the violent human actions depicted. The story centres around another outsider, Jean Macquart, a former soldier and carpenter who tries to retire to the country, and Fouan, an elderly farmer who, like King Lear, divides his inheritance among his children who humiliate and reject him. Zola’s dark vision of the peasant world, existing beyond all civilized values, and the prominence in the novel of explicit sex and bodily functions, provoked an uproar, bringing to the fore once again the controversy that had always informed critical responses to naturalism.

Full textAbstract:
Moscow is the city which united the characters of A.N. Tolstoy’s novel “Peter the First”. Kitay-Gorod is the space where the action of the first book is mainly set. In the novel Tolstoy showed in great detail the everyday life of the city and its inhabi- tants. According to the I.E. Zabelin’s research (“History of the city of Moscow”) in late 17 — early 18 th centuries Moscow was like a big village that is why Tolstoy relied on his childhood memories about the life in the small village Sosnovka (Samara Region) describing the streets of Moscow. The novel begins with the description of a poor peasant household of Brovkin near Moscow, then Volkov’s noble estate is depicted and Menshikov’s house. The space of the city is expanding with each new “address”. Moscow estates, and in particular, connected with the figure of “guardian, lover of the Princess-ruler” V.V. Golitsyn, in Tolstoy’s novel are inextricably linked with the character’s living and with the life of the country. The description of the palace built by Golitsyn at the peak of his career is based on the Sergei Solovyov’s “History of Russia in ancient times”. Golitsyn left it and went to his estate outside Moscow Medvedkovo and from there in exile.

Full textAbstract:
In his adaptation of Carlo Levi's Cristo si é fermato a Eboli (Christ Stopped at Eboli, 1979), Rosi continues to confront the problems of the South—emigration, cultural marginalization, poverty—while reclaiming its rich, forgotten culture. The film signals a shift of Rosi's style, later evident in the slow-paced Cronaca di una morte annunciata (Chronicle of a Death Foretold, 1987), an epic adaptation of Gabriel García Márquez' 1981 novel that, like Cristo, is structured as an archetypal journey back to the past. In Tre fratelli (Three Brothers, 1981), Italy's chronic political instability is reflected in the tale of a self-assured judge, an idealistic teacher, and an angry factory worker and labor organizer. Summoned home for their mother's funeral, the brothers revisit their peasant roots, confront their present, and imagine their future. The film's concluding wide shot, which unites two generations, indicates Rosi's return to ahistorical values.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter looks at two of Straub-Hullet’s later films, The Death of Empedocles and Workers, Peasants. Both films deal with the theme of dissolution—of the protagonist in nature or the individual in a community as well as the dissolution of a community itself. Charles Reznikoff’s Testimony, a long-form poem that quotes verbatim witness transcripts from American legal trials, is discussed with special attention paid to how the poetic versified the transcripts and put them in relation to one another. The result on the page is a text that looks strikingly similar to the published script of Workers, Peasants, a film based on Elio Vittorini’s novel Women of Messina and that also deals with witness testimony.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper, the author examines a work of one of the most significant Croatian literary writers, Ante Kovačić, whose novel U registraturi (In the Registry Office) is considered by many literary critics and theoreticians to be the best writing of Croatian realism. It is an author who was not understood at the time when his work appeared, which is why the text was published in the form of a novel with a twenty-three year delay. Nonlinear composition of the text, elements of fantasy literature and innovative literary process in creating a fabula and sujet course of events confused literary critics as well as readership, which points to the fact that Ante Kovačić was treated for a long time as a peripheral author. In this narrative text, the misery and helplessness of peasants and their revolt against their feudal lords in Croatia are described, therefore the object of our analysis will be the characterisation of figures from various layers of society, with a particular focus on the “peripheral characters” of Kovačić’s prose. Using the term “peripheral characters” we will attempt to bring close those characters of subjugated peasants in relation to the feudal-capitalist social layer and thereby emphasise their role in the novel in relation to their fate. Unlike the characters of the peasants – Ivica Kičmanović (whom the social order turns into a lackey and scoundrel); Jožica Zgubidan (the personification of a poor person from Zagorje), Anica (a patriarchal girl with an angelic face); Miha; Perica; the neighbouring Kanoniks; and the Medonjićes – Kovačić brings us harsh, drastic images of moral vacillations in the city in which figures, distorted into caricatures, dominate. By contrasting the rural environment with the city life, the author is writing an “epopee of the village and city” in which the “peripheral characters” become tragic ones. These characters are the carriers of elements of “fantastic realism,” and their function is to show all the depravities of society and to announce the phenomenon of the innovative processes of narration familiar to authors of the modern literature. Finally, we come to the conclusion that Ante Kovačić made a step forward in relation to the generation of realists, with the peripheral position of his creation disappearing with the emergence of modern literary achievements, which ultimately gives the author and his work a polished place in Croatian literature.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter describes a number of medico-administrative and legal changes that were introduced in nineteenth-century Egypt and that gave rise to an individualized conception of identity. Prompted by the recruitment needs of a new conscript army, an administrative apparatus was put in place that gave rise to novel techniques of identifying peasants, monitoring their movements, and controlling their bodies. A wide-ranging public hygiene programme aimed at serving the army resulted in a statistical regime whose crowning achievement was a nation-wide census. Concurrently, legal reforms replaced the reputational and oral witnesses that the shari'a relied on with named and written forms of identification. The chapter concludes with a discussion about the implications of this rise of a free-floating individual for conceptions of legal equality.

Full textAbstract:
Innovations in novelistic form that appear at the end of the Napoleonic Wars do so in the context of a national discussion about colonial emigration, and an uprooting and dispersing of British people on a profound scale, that provoked a reimagining of global space. Poverty, unemployment, and security, both domestically and in the colonies, were concerns about which emigration was proposed as a possible solution. This helps to explain two influential formal innovations made by Walter Scott in Guy Mannering (1815). The first is the invention of a new geographical imaginary. The novel is distinctive for its international backstory that takes place in India outside the main temporal and geographical frames of the novel, as well as a mode of calibrating distance in relation to details of size and scale, and through manipulating levels of readerly attention. The second innovation is its eccentric character, the gypsy, Meg Merrilies, who specifically derives from these spatial concerns. Her character is especially topical as it draws on contemporary beliefs about gypsies, a displaced people thought to have originated in India, but who are also identified with Scottish peasants displaced during the Highland Clearances, and other indigenous displaced people. Through the character of Meg, the novel examines contemporary questions about property, place, and belonging, as well as race and indigeneity. Meg’s persistence in print culture through the next several decades, reimagined in theatrical renditions, poems, print commodities, and travel writings, turns her into a celebrity character, and constituent element of a migratory British culture.
